Chapter 14

Olivia.

I felt a small spark of excitement in my chest. I hadn’t been to a mall in more than ten years.

The last memory of being in a mall was when I was nine, before our pack had been raided. My parents took me there to get a birthday present.

I shook my head to clear the memory and sighed. I did not want to think about my parents.

The door opened by the side and I looked out to see the driver holding it open and I was embarrassed. I had gotten lost in thought and everybody had gotten out of the car except me.

Damon was standing outside, looking at me expectantly. I quickly climbed out of the car and went to stand in front of him.

“we have to get some necessary things”

He said, and started walking inside.

I quickly followed behind him so that i wouldn't get lost but it turned out that wasn't necessary, because the crowd of people were parting as he walked.

Some of them had fear in their eyes, and the rest had admiration.

He walked fast, so i struggled to keep up with him, without making it look like i was chasing him

We walked into a shop in the mall, and all the employees stopped what they were doing to bow down to Damon.

He was so important, and I had not been giving him the respect that he should have been getting. What if he decided that I was too disrespectful and threw me in the dungeon?

I shook my head to remove that thought. He was not like the master from the rogue pack.

“I need training gear” he said simply and they all scrambled to his aid.

The manager stepped forward and bowed to him.

“Right away, alpha. What size would that be in?” she asked, her eyes flicking to me for a second.

“In her size” he said “take her to get it tested”

Before I could understand what he said. I was pulled away by two ladies, into the dressing room.

A curtain was pulled for my privacy and they handed me three outfits.

I tried the blue outfit first, and it was a bigger size than it was. Then I tried the orange one. It was too small for me.

Finally, I tried the black one and it fit me exactly. I looked in the mirror and was surprised.

The outfit was made of an elastic material that could stretch enough to accommodate your wolf, when you switched, and contract back so you could switch back without changing clothes or damaging clothes.

Outfits with these materials are very rare and expensive. I had only ever heard of them, and never seen them.

It had a belt that was made to hold any weapons that you would use when you were fighting in your human form, and even had a pouch that would automatically hydrate you in the middle of battle.

I walked out of the dressing room and stood in front of the employees.

“Miss, would you like to try others?” they asked.

“No, thank you. This is fine” i said

They directed me back to the main shop where I saw Damon sitting and waiting. The manager was fawning over him and asking him if he needed anything

He looked uncomfortable but immediately stood up when he saw me walk in.

His gaze lingered on me and his eyes swept over the outfit, but his expression did not change. After a while, he nodded and looked at the manager and handed her his card.

“No No, Alpha. We cannot allow you to pay. This is in the house” she said, quickly, not collecting the card.

He did not argue with her, instead nodded at me and walked out.

I stood, confused for a moment before I realized that he probably wanted me to follow him.

I quickly thanked the employees and walked quickly to catch up to him.

I wanted to ask him where we were going but he was walking too fast for me to even stop him and ask him a question.

We walked out of the mall and into the new building, which I hadn't noticed before because I had been too focused on the mall. There were still people calling his name and trying to touch him.

When we entered the building, the door was quickly closed by his driver who I hadn't noticed was with us before now.

Damon finally stopped and sat on a small couch and I sat on the one that was a little farther from him.

He looked at me but did not show any expression again.

I finally looked around the room, and realized that we were in an auditorium, but not an ordinary one.

We were surrounded by training equipment and weapons.

Why did he bring me here?

Was he here to train?

I knew that guards in a pack had to undergo rigorous training so as to protect that pack in a time of war, but I did not understand why I was here.

Just then, a lady walked into the room, she was pretty and she walked with an air of confidence around her.

She smiled at Damon as soon as she saw him and went ahead to hug him, and peck him on the cheek. She was extremely affectionate with him and her eyes had not even a hint of fear in them like the rest of the people we had come across.

I was confused at what was going on till Damon finally spoke.

“Alexa, this is Olivia. Olivia, this is Alexa, my sister” He said.

I finally understood why she was not afraid of him.

“He means older sister” she said, as she stretched forth her hand for me to shake

I took her hand and returned her warm smile.

“Alexa will be training you for the next three months to be a warrior.”
